032 — SOE, writing practice

Write two practice paragraphs (either an introduction, a main body, or a conclusion) for the following prompt:

People seek fame because they want to make money

Remember:

Introduction

  • Establish your topic.
  • Present the main points-of-view by briefly stating what they are and why that position is held.
  • Introduce a ‘hook’ or ‘attention grabber’.
  • Set up a question/issue you think the topic naturally raises and make it clear that this what your essay aims to explore.

Main Body (compare/contrast)

 

  1. Think of an issue you will explore
  2. Choose two examples of people becoming (or trying to become) famous
  3. List similarities and difference
  4. Choose connective words that show similarities or difference
  5. Write paragraph (provide enough background on each show to make it clear you know what it is about)

 

Conclusion

  • In a subtle way, state the most reasonable conclusion based on the ideas presented.
  • Identity a dilemma you have come across but reinforce the primary finding of your exposition.
  • Give one general reason why the conclusion you have stated is valid; include any important detail you have identified that will make the dilemma less of a dilemma in the future.
